Karim Ganis has had his sentence appeal dismissed in the High Court.
A Hamilton man who assaulted two women and set a car on fire after being denied sexual acts in exchange for drugs has had his appeal for home detention dismissed. Karim Monair Abo Ganis was sentenced to two years and five months’ imprisonment in November after pleading guilty to 13 charges which included violence and drug charges. The offending occurred on March 19, 2020, when Ganis and his co-offender met two of the victims, a young man and woman at a Hamilton bar, a High Court ruling from Justice Paul Davison says. The third victim, another female, was waiting outside in the male victim’s car as she was too young to enter the bar.

The man - who cannot be named - was sentenced in the Hamilton District Court in January for an incident in which he punched a woman in the face while extremely intoxicated. At the time, Judge Robert Spear imposed two years of intensive supervision and regular check-ins with a judge.
